After a brief break, the beloved Gem & Jam Festival is excited to return to the beautiful Sonoran Desert at the Pima County Fairgrounds from February 06 to 8, 2026. This three-day celebration of music, art, performance, and gems & minerals is getting even more special with its new partnership with the talented independent promoter Relentless Beats. Known for fantastic events like Goldrush Music Festival, Experts Only Festival, DUSK Music Festival, Better Together, and Decadence Arizona, Relentless Beats brings a lot of excitement to the table. This collaboration promises to welcome a larger crowd and take the festival’s programming to new heights, making this the most memorable Gem & Jam Festival yet.
The lineup, boasting over 80 acts, is sure to be a topic of conversation for years to come! Friday kicks things off with Clozee headlining night one, alongside funky favorite Flamingosis, Tripp St., and the man with the golden ticket, Wonky Willa. Saturday promises the most eagerly awaited B2B of the new year, featuring G Jones and Eprom, along with trap king TROYBOI. Get ready for an unforgettable moment with the glitch god, Cool Customer. The weekend wraps up on Sunday with a closing performance by TYCHO, heavy bass drops from Artifakts, and an exciting DNB set from Ivy Lab!
